Of note, Schriber recently committed to play Division 1 lacrosse at the University of Michigan, an unusual and remarkable accomplishment for a freshman.
Batista is one of only three 7th graders to make the middle school team and the only player from Wilton to make the squad, which is made up of 7th and 8th graders.
The event will take place July 19-22, 2016 at River City Sportsplex in Richmond, VA. Teams will compete in a championship format providing players with exposure to collegiate recruiting and eilte-level play experience.
